Huntington quality of life -am I missing something?

Alright, Been living here since 2016. Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value nightlife, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely pretty good and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Eastside) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Chicago, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've lived in North for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The community vibe scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
